Hi everyone..
We are tryint to batch a clear or opaque shampoo with jasmine fragrance
Purified water qs
Honey 20 percent
Sles-15%
Capb-5%
Peg 12 dimethicone - 1.5%
Cocamide mea - 0.6%
Alor vera water - 20%
Acrylate copolymer-6%
Phenoxyethanol +Ethyl hexyl glycerin - 0.5%
My points are these though the shampoo came fine
1.i used siliocome peg dimethicone . Could i use cationic surfactant btms or btac instead of silicone? .
2. I used acrylate copolymer 6 %. Could i get same result with salt only provided salt have its own limitation to add?
3. I seee lotsa shampoo in market using alcohol and salicylic acid together..what etc benefit it will gjve to shampoo?
Pardon my chemistry!..

2. Possibly but you'd have to run a salt curve analysis. You have a number of ingredients in the formula that might negatively impact the salt thickening effect.
3. It is used to treat psorasis and dry scalp. I wouldn't recommend using it in a general shampoo.
4. You can use as much PG in a shampoo as you like.
You can use polyquats, those are dedigned to be compatible. And hydrophobic dimethicones, the most common are gums dispersed in cyclo, but there are so many to choose. See this, and that's from one manufacturer.
Normal silicones like dimethicone and dimethiconol aren't supposed to do much on paper, but their effect is noticeable in the real world.
You can try Amodimethicone. Both a silicone and amine-functionalized which makes it cationic in water solution. Best of both worlds.
You'd likely need cationic surfactants to keep amodimethicone in solution.
But if silicones are going to wash off. How we going to achieve the shiny, volume and slippery or rejuventated hair after wash and keep them like that for sometime.
@Gunther .. I used Polyquat10 as cationic polymer.. But if i go for amodimethicone, will that be suffice to provide conditoning and silicone effect and enough to not to use pq10?
@Microformulation... I read it but still it recommend amodimethicone in the end to use in 2 in 1 shampoo.. But when i searched i found
Amodimethicone is challenge to remove in rinse off.. Why not use somewhat water soluble and which doesnt built up on hair and leave it shiny.. May be dimethicone copolyol
How can i get a clear shampoo without silicone?
